Job Summary

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead bioinformatic and data science efforts focused on singlecell RNAseq (scRNAseq) data including experimental design support data processing quality control and downstream analysis.
  • Apply advanced statistical machine learning and AI methods to singlecell transcriptomic data to identify cell states trajectories biomarkers and mechanistic insights relevant to clinical outcomes.
  • Integrate scRNAseq data with complementary data types (e.g. bulk RNAseq genomics clinical metadata) to support translational and clinical decisionmaking.
  • Analyze and interpret singlecell TCR sequencing (scTCRseq) data to characterize Tcell clonality diversity and clonal dynamics in clinical cell therapy studies.
  • Integrate scRNAseq and scTCRseq data to link Tcell receptor repertoire features with transcriptional states phenotypes and clinical outcomes.
  • Design and implement custom analytical tools and models tailored to cell therapy and immunology research questions.
  • Collaborate closely with biologists clinicians and crossfunctional teams to translate singlecell analytics into actionable insights for ongoing clinical programs.
  • Contribute to the development of analytical models for clinical NGS and singlecell data in regulated environments.
  • Establish and maintain reproducible scalable data architectures using cloud platforms and/or highperformance computing resources.
  • Build and manage code repositories documentation and best practices for singlecell data analysis.
  • Communicate complex analytical methods and findings through clear reports visualizations presentations and collaborative discussions.
  • Stay current with emerging singlecell technologies methods and tools and proactively incorporate them to improve analytical approaches.
